i would like to point something out here about mushrooms. most varietys of mushrooms are NOT poison.its a comon myth. they are in fact inedible. there are in fact only 2 species of mushrooms in the US that will kill you 1) the destorying angle can get up to 2 feet tall with a 9 inch cap and 2) deadly glarinia a small brown mushroom that grows in clusters that look slimey. in fact aprox 4000 species of mushrooms grow in the US of these about 500 are considered poison of that 500 about 300 are halucinagenic , shrooms are catagoried as poisonous. of the other 200 with the exception of the above mention they will only make you sick, unless of course injested in VERY large quantitys. now about 1000 are edible with about 100 being "choice". so if you were to eat that mushroom it will most likely taste like crap, next be fairly good but not terrific, next make you "trip", next make you sick to your stomache, next be fairly tasty, and last and most least make you die. the only way to tell for absolute certain of the species is close examination wich includes microscopic inspection of the spores.

note: all numbers above are approximate

NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF MUSHROOM POISONING AND ALLERGIES ASSOCIATED WITH, NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCMSTANCE EAT A MUSHROOM THAT YOU ARE NOT ABSOLUTLY SURE OF THE SPECIES.
